How to give a custom object instance a type name ?

[Graeme Matthew]

Hi all, quick one,

I hope I am explaining this properly, I am wanting to do some introspection
on custom object instances, for example:

import md5<type 'md5.md5'>

I can at least test here by doing something like if type(m) == 'md5.md5':


Here is a custom Dispatcher class that I have written
<type 'instance'>

How do I get the same as with instance 'm' above where the type displays the
actual object instance name, however my
custom dispatcher instance is just a generic 'instance', is there some
builtin where this is set ?

many thanks

Graeme

<type 'instance'>

You did Java before ?

isinstance(m,md5.md5)

isinstance(x,Dispatcher)

otherwise if you _really_ need the name - just do as some others indicated.

You could also use new-style classes, btw.
